How Maurice does it

grillfirecookingpan-fry
  1. 1

    Light a charcoal grill (or preheat a grill pan on the stove over high heat).

  2. 2

    Slice the courgette into long, flat strips. Thinly slice the garlic and chop the sage.

  3. 3

    Place a round silver pan (or a grill-safe skillet) on the grill and add the olive oil. Once hot, arrange the courgette strips in the pan.

  4. 4

    Add the garlic and chopped sage to the pan. Pour in the white grape juice and let it sizzle.

  5. 5

    Add the pancetta strips to the pan and cook until they start to crisp.

  6. 6

    Meanwhile, toast the bread slices on the grill until nicely charred on both sides. Set aside on a cutting board.

  7. 7

    Pour the soy sauce into the pan and squeeze in the fresh lemon juice. Stir to combine.

  8. 8

    Sprinkle the grated Manchego over the courgette and pancetta mixture. Let it melt completely.

  9. 9

    Using a fork, transfer the courgette, pancetta, and melted cheese mixture onto the toasted bread slices.

  10. 10

    Top with thin rings of raw onion and extra fresh sage leaves. Serve immediately.
